Comment (by Denis-de-Bernardy):

 Me? Not a chance.

 Someone else? Probably not either.

 It would basically amount to calling an executable or a web service on the
 same server (or a nearby one), repeatedly over the course of each page.
 Which seems like it would be dead slow. Imagine a ms of latency times the
 number of times WP calls its plugin API. You're instantly in multi-second
 territory unless you handpick the hooks you need -- which woukd require
 writing some PHP.

 But then... give it a try on your end and see for yourself. The link was
 to highlight it's technically feasible.

 Announce it on the wp hackers list rather than here when you're done
 writing some kind of proof of concept, as thisis not theright venue.
 You'll then see if it gets picked up.

 Good luck.
